Blocks Above 0.9MB Uneconomical for Dash Crypto Miners, Study Finds
Earlier in the year cryptocurrency Dash and the Blockchain Research Lab of Arizona State University announced a US$350,000 partnership. Now, out of a study conducted under the partnership, a report dubbed ‘Block Propagation Applied to Nakamoto Network’ has been released highlighting the scaling challenges as well as the potential opportunities for the Dash blockchain.
To conduct the research whose aim was to investigate the scaling limitations that Dash faces, networks had to have a minimum of 6,000 nodes in each simulation. Additionally, in order to account for variance, the research effort ensured that the period the simulations were run was long enough to guarantee that a minimum of 700 blocks were simulated.
